I have put together many pieces of furniture but I have never done any with the weird folding that this one requires. I got it eventually, but it was rather strange. I had my doubts it would work but it did. These are so lightweight that when I pull the door open the whole piece moves with it. I have to keep some heavy things in it and hold the top when opening the door. There is also a large scratch on one. But they were super cheap, now I  have somewhere to hide stuff, and the little cubby comes in handy. They serve their intended purpose for me of having bedside table lamps on both sides of the bed. I didn't expect much.
